ABSTRACT
Objective To measure and compare the lateral posterior tibial slope (LPTS) , medial posterior tibial slope ( MPTS) and tibial torsion angle ( TTA) between the patients of recuiTent patellar dislocation and the heathy people, and to analyze the correlation between LPTS, MPTS and TTA and the risk factors of recuiTent patellar dislocation. Methods A total of 33 patients (44 knees) with recuiTent patellar dislocation in our hospital from July 2019 to June 2021 were selected and listed as the stud)' group. Twenty-three subjects (46 knees) who were suspected iliac vascular and lower limb vascular diseases during the same period were selected and listed as the control group. All the enrolled researchers had fulllength CT scans date of the lower limbs. Three-dimensional models were reconstructed using Mimics 21. 0 software and then imported into 3-matic software. The LPTS, MPTS and TTA were measured and compared between the two groups. Results In the study group, the LPTS, MPTS and TTA were (7. 69} 1. 42) ° , ( 10. 06} 1. 71) ° , ( 36. 42}8. 13 ) ° , respectively while the control group, the LPTS, MPTS and TTA were ( 8. 42 } 1. 65 ) ° , ( 10. 44 } 0. 86 ) ° , ( 25. 77} 3. 90 ) ° , respectively. There were no signiiicant differences in the LPTS, MPTS and TTA between different genders and sides both in the stud)' group and the control group ( P > 0. 0 5 ) . Compared with the control group, the LPTS in the stud)' group was smaller, and the difference was statistically significant (P0. 05). Compared with the control group, the TTA in the stud)' group was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 0 5 ) . Compared with the control group, the LPTS and MPTS in the study group were significant asymmetry, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0 . 0 5 ). Conclusion The lateral posterior tibial slope of patients with recurrent patellar dislocation is significantly smaller than that in the healthy people, while there is no significant difference in the medial posterior tibial slope; The tibial torsion angle of patients with recurrent patellar dislocation is significantly larger than in the healthy people; The lateral posterior tibial slope and tibial torsion angle have certain correlation with recurrent patellar dislocation, which can conduct the diagnosis of recurrent patellar dislocation.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: We investigated whether the intubating condition change acoording to the methods of administration of propofol and rocuronium. METHODS: Ninety adult patients (ASA physical status I or II) undergoing elective surgery were randomly assigned to one of three groups; Group I (n = 30) received rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg) after administration of propofol (2 mg/kg), Group II (n = 30) received propofol and rocuronium simultaneously via different intravenous routes, and Group III (n = 30) received a mixture of propofol and rocuronium via same intravenous route. Intubation was attempted at 60 seconds after administration of rocuronium. Hemodynamic parameters (mean blood pressure, heart rate) were measured before and after propofol administration with 20 seconds interval. Intubating conditions (jaw relaxation, vocal cord movement, and response to tracheal intubation) were evaluated as excellent, good, fair and poor. Train of four counts were recorded at 60 seconds after administration of rocuronium. RESULTS: Excellent intubating conditions were obtained in 13% in group I, 60% in group II, 77% in group III. Mean train of four counts were 3.7 in group I, 3.4 in group II, and 3.5 in group III. Mean blood pressures were decreased gradually after propofol administration in all groups. However, heart rates were not changed in all groups. CONCLUSIONS: At induction of anesthesia, simultaneous or mixed administration of propofol and rocuronium provides excellent or good intubating conditions 60 seconds after rocuronium administration. It could be an effective alternative to succinylcholine for rapid sequence induction of anesthesia.
